My review

Not that I want to become a writer but I have been recommended this book many times. I've read about it in books that have nothing to do with learning how to write. The thing is, I don't remember which books and why they recommended it.

Anyway, it's good, very good. It's not only about writing but also about daring, facing your fears, and about being nice with yourself and with others. If you replace "writing" with "whatever-you-do-or-wish-to-do" the advice and wise words apply almost perfectly.

I would highlight a quote from the end of the book: "Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed our soul"
